Just a little show and tell from the past few years of making flower magic. ✨💘💐

Didn't make it till the end? Here's the recap:
I'm Rachel, life has been pretty cool and connected me with cool brands like @letsnixit @volvocarcanada @marcjacobs & @netflixca. I'm obsessed with colour and actually really nice. (That last part isn't in the video but I think you get the GIST!!

A few good wedding photographs can make a beautiful post.

A complete gallery should make you remember your wedding: the anticipation before the ceremony, the people you shared it with, the moments you planned, the ones you didn’t, and everything that happened in between.

Because if you look through the final gallery and only see a few nice photographs, but can’t understand how the day unfolded, something important is missing.

A new chapter 🌿🌸

After years of working out of tiny condos, storage rooms, and wherever I could squeeze a plant in… Plant Mahmah finally has a space to call home

And the best part? I’m sharing it with another small business I love @makelemonadeco 🌸

From dreaming about having a studio to putting our names on the door 🥹

Two businesses, one studio, and SO many ideas for what this space can become

They say timing is everything, and this one really felt like everything, everywhere, all at once. The first two weeks of June I dedicated myself wholly to building this piece of art.

I took over my parents garage, slept in my childhood bedroom, looked at the creative person I was 20 years ago, and fully went for it.

This piece is an extension of the creative world I've found myself living in. A mix of all the fun colours, a heavy influence from the botanics I've built my new career in, and if you look closely, yes, that turf is from my original coworking space.

I look back at those two weeks in June, eat, sleep, repeating my way to the garage, and even though it was so rough, I'm so happy it happened.

With any project, it just ain't possible without my people. The physical work, the mental load, the pick me ups, and the coffee breaks - I'm a creative and a florist, but my community makes me remember at heart, I am an artist. ❤️

100 bouquets made with friendly folks, tied in colourful ribbon and popped in cutie little carriers... this is what we call a Midsummer dream. ✨✨✨✨

Super grateful for a successful day 1 (of 3) with @volvocarcanada. We had SO much fun chatting with new faces, talkin' flowers and colour, and making people's days a little bit brighter.💐 The power of flowers, y'all!

We have TWO more days of flower magic:
📍Meet us at @shopsquareone
⏰11-6pm, July 18 & 19
💐ALL FREE, thanks to our Volvo pals. 💘

There's a LOT happening in the mall: face painting, portrait sessions, face painting, flower crowns, boutonnieres, and VERY impressive installations. 💐💐💐

Absolutely THRILLED to share I'm working with @volvocarcanada ...again!

Y'all know how much I love a good workshop, in fact, to date I've led nearly 800 folks through the art of floral arranging!😯✂️💐

Well, after next weekend, that number is gonna skyrocket! I'm teaming up with Volvo to teach you how to make your own bouquet!

Workshops are free (thank you Volvo!), and happening July 17 - 19, 11am - 6pm at @shopsquareone. 📅

If you've ever wanted to experience a Make Lemonade Workshop....do not sleep on this!

The weekend is all about celebrating midsummer and experiencing the magic Volvo has perfected over the years. Expect all sorts of activities from floral friends: workshops, flower crowns, portrait stations, innovative floral installations, face painting, and of course, a fleet of cars to test drive.

I pinch myself daily because, this is what I get to do for work?!??! It's gonna be a really cool weekend - come enjoy the midsummer magic! 💐✨🚗💐✨🚗💐✨🚗

All red for @toryburch ❤️❤️❤️

This one had me on my toes, delivering to Sherway, Square One, and Yorkdale for some very lucky customers! But what's more? I worked with @queensparkflorist in Vancouver & @riverflorals in Calgary. Sourcing, coordinating, and scheming across the country was a new skill I didn't know I'd be collecting on my 2026 bingo card. If find yourself in Van or Calgary, you know who to hit up!

Thank you, always, @drawadot, for bringing me into the fold and trusting me to make some flower magic! ✨✨✨ taken in Yorkdale Shopping Centre by @makelemonadeco

Holy smokes, my art is on public display.

I just kinda can't believe it's all real, it's LIVE, these past two weeks producing have come and gone, and the piece is up for Toronto to see.💘

This piece is my largest to date, stretched me in so many ways, and allowed me to dream really big. HUGE thank you to the @cibcsquare team for trusting me, giving me creative freedom, and encouraging me to include an artist statement too!

I'm growing! I can feel it! I'm so proud and so tired. 😂

To my team: mom & dad for letting me take over the garage, daddio for all the 'carpentry' we did together, @the_wrongflorist & @aallundi__ getting delusional, crafty, super dirty, and rolling with something so outside our normal, brother for heavy lifting and dinners, uncle Roman for getting up at the crack of dawn for install day, @_clieu getting all of the behind the scenes shots, and of course, my flower dude for chillin me out when things got tough.

I learned SO MUCH from this project and I'm really just so grateful it all happened. Yes, even the hard parts too. ❤️

GO SEE IT! 141 BAY, CIBC Square! 📌
